Module I (8 hours)
Review of Fourier series, Fourier theory on L1 (R) and L2 (R), basic properties of windowed Fourier transform.

Module II (4 hours)
Orthonormal basis generated by a single function, Balian-Low theorem, Gabor transform.

Module III (18 hours)
Dyadic wavelets and examples, Multiresolution Analysis (MRA), scaling function and low-pass filters, construction of orthonormal wavelets from MRA, Properties of MRA wavelets, Properties/characterizations of scaling functions and low-pass filters, Spline wavelets, Daubechies wavelets, Some applications of wavelets.

To identify the limitations of classical Fourier analysis.

To introduce the construction/applications of wavelets with some specific examples.

CO1. Students will learn about the properties and characterizations of wavelets in L2(R).

CO2. They will learn about the powerful technique of MRA for the construction of wavelets.

CO3. They will see the construction of different types of wavelets such as Daubechies and Spline wavelets.

CO4. Also they will get acquainted with some applications of wavelets in signal/image processing.
